Beta Recce's POVMy alarm had gone off by 1:30am and I dragged myself from the bed. All was quiet and I planted my feet on the cold floor and rubbed my eyes sleepily. It was time. I had to go and see the traitor.I went to the bathroom and washed my face and put on a clean shirt and a pair of jeans. All was quiet. I headed downstairs and past the kitchen. Everything was in order. I headed to Bailey's room to check on her. I walked to her door and it was silent. I wanted to go inside but I guessed that she was sleeping and it was best that I didn't disturb her. I walked back downstairs and headed to the dungeons. It was quiet, too quiet for comfort. As I was coming down the stairs I didn't hear the guard. Something was definitely wrong.Drake was a loud talker and he was always talking with someone or he playing music but I couldn't hear him as I headed down the steps. I progress further and soon I saw him seated and he was fast asleep.I was immediately angry. How dare he sleep on duty
Bailey's POVI looked at my father as he ran off after Miguel. I was surprised and I almost forgot that I was supposed to run after him. I dashed out through the door and jumped over the guards who had fallen on the floor and were still asleep–that sleeping pill was very effective. I was actually scared if they would even wake up. What if I had killed them?As I left the pack house, I could hear the shouts of the other wolves and about five or six guards ran in the direction of the forest. I had no choice and I ran after them as fast as I could. I could hear shouts and the warriors that were in front of me immediately shifted into their wolves and took off like the wind. I soon couldn't see them and I had to stop and was coughing terribly as they raised so much dust as they sped off. How on earth was I going to catch up to them?I didn't know what to feel. I was sad and angry and confused. My dad had almost killed Miguel. Maybe I was meant to be there; to save Miguel's life. I had to r
Bailey's POVI looked at him angrily. What did I do? If anything, I think he had more explaining to do than I did."Bailey, this is serious. What did you do?" His voice was tense and strained and full of anxiety.I exhaled and looked at him in the eye."I thought that I could get some answers from Miguel. I thought that maybe he didn't tell you or Grey anything because he was terrified of you guys and both of you want to kill him anyway.""Bailey, do you know how reckless that was? I'm not even talking about the 'drugging my guards' part. How did that even happen? How did you even find the tablets? I told your mother to put them away."I rolled my eyes. Did he really think I was that dumb? I had been aceing all my classes since the first grade. For the Goddess' sake, I wasn't dumb."Mum left them in the kitchen on the counter and when she told me what they were for, I took three tablets from her room when she left to see Katie's mum.""And you crushed those three tablets and added it t
Miguel's POVAs I ran through the forest, I could hear the wolves snapping viciously behind me, almost at my heels. Beta Recce's cry was the most terrifying of them all. I had barely escaped death's icy clutch. It was scary looking into his eyes and seeing the hate brimming as he grabbed my throat and stranggled the life out of meI continued to run and once in a while, I could almost feel his hot breath on my neck and his fangs about to bite down on my head. I was weak and I wasn't sure that I could shift into my wolf. The night was an inky black and there was no moon. I had no source to draw my strength from and I had been sparingly fed in a bid to keep me weak and unable to shift and break free.I ran though the forest and past the twisting trees. I was surprised how I was able to keep ahead of them for so long despite how weak and malnourished I looked. I jumped over a falled tree trunk and thought to lose them in the forest by taking an unexpected turn. They however dogged my move
Miguel's POVI looked at my mum and tried not to be shocked. I had been in captivity for weeks and she couldn't even send a rescue team for me and now she was asking if I knew anything about what was going on in Dark Moon pack. I looked from her to Alpha Zane and he had a dangerous look on his face. Well, they were not in luck because I wasn't going to tell them anything, even if there was something to tell."Nothing mum. They aren't doing anything."Alpha Zane looked at me furiously and turned to Tiffany."He is lying.""Zane calm down."She looked at me again and was a little more sterner this time"Miguel, if there is something to tell us about Dark Moon Pack, now is the best time to say it.""Mum, they kept me in the dungeons for weeks and none of you came to rescue me. I was alone. What did you expect me to find out?""Miguel, you must have heard something from the guards. Anything that could be useful to us.""I didn't hear anything mum."My voice was firm and final. There was no
Alpha Grey's POVI was up early in the morning. I couldn't sleep a wink last night. I was thinking about all that Recce and Bailey had said to me over the phone. I missed her so much and I couldn't wait to get home and see her. I was trying my best not to distract her as her final exams were fast approachinng and I wanted her to do well as she had always been doing. I thought about what I had said to Recce about marking Bailey after her final exam and I knew that he wasn't comfortbable with it. He had every right to be; he was her father and I knew that he was only looking out for her like every good father should. But then again, maybe I should give Bailey more time. The thought had be bothering me. Maybe I was actually rushing into things. The most important thing at the moment was stopping Blemish and now that I thought about it, I wouldn't want Bailey to marry me knowing that she could lose me at anytime if Blemish decided to go to war.I stood up from my bed and headed to the wind
Alpha Grey's POV"What! What do you mean by 'the prisoner has escaped'?! How?! When?!"I watched him exhale sadly"I went to interrogate him and..."I immediately flew into rage. I banged my fist on the table and I made a terrible dent in the table. I was definately going to have to replace it now."I strictly and explicitly told you not to interrogate him!""I wanted answers Grey!""And I told you that he had none to give!"I was exassperated and I paced angrily around the room. I couldn't believe that Recce had disobeyed a direct order.I walked back to my desk and sat down angrily. I bent my head low so that Rece couldn't see the glint in my eyes."How did this happen?""I went in the dead of the night to question him. I was trying to strangle the answers out of him. When I dropped him and watched him grovel at my feet, he then threw dust into my eyes and escaped through the cell door that I left open by mistake.""How did he get past the guards?""I asked them to leave their posts
Bailey's POVI spent the rest of the day with Grey. He buried me beneath his body and peppered my entire body with kisses. It was bliss. I couldn't believe I had missed him this much. Soon he stopped and kissed my forehead tentatively."Bailey, I need to get down to some important business."I looked at him with puppy eyes. Why now? I wanted to spend all day wrapped in his arms and hearing his deep voice cooing soothingly in my ears. I didn't want him to go yet."What's it about?"He exhaled aand kissed my lips softly again. I could tell that he was unwilling to let me go either, but then again, duty calls and as the Alpha, he had to answer."I need to set up a meeting with the council about the jewel."Immediately my mind was taken backwards to last night? Dad? Had he told Grey that Miguel had escaped? My face couldn't hide my fear and worry and Grey noticed it immediately."What's wrong Bailey?"I had to lie and I was going to keep my big mouth under control. Dad had really saved me.
